CLINICAL SITE INFORMATION FORM (CSIF)
APTA Department of Physical Therapy Education
Revised January 2006
INTRODUCTION:
The primary purpose of the Clinical Site Information Form (CSIF) is for Physical Therapist (PT) and Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) academic programs to collect information from clinical education sites to: Facilitate clinical site selection, Assist in student placements, Assess the learning experiences and clinical practice opportunities available to students; and Provide assistance with completion of documentation required for accreditation.
The CSIF is divided into two sections: Part I: Information for Academic Programs (pages 4-16)
Information About the Clinical Site (pages 4-6) Information About the Clinical Teaching Faculty (pages 7-10) Information About the Physical Therapy Service (pages 10-12) Information About the Clinical Education Experience (pages 13-16)
Part II: Information for Students (pages 17-20)
Duplication of requested information is kept to a minimum except when separation of Part I and Part II of the CSIF would omit critical information needed by both students and the academic program. The CSIF is also designed using a check-off format wherever possible to reduce the amount of time required for completion.
Department of Physical Therapy Education1111 North Fairfax StreetAlexandria, Virginia 22314
DIRECTIONS FOR COMPLETION:
To complete the CSIF go to APTA's website at under “Education Programs,” click on “Clinical” and choose “Clinical Site Information Form.” This document is available as a Word document.
1. Save the CSIF on your computer before entering your facility’s information. The title should be the clinical site’s zip code, clinical site’s name, and the date (eg, 90210BevHillsRehab10-26-2005). Using this format for titling the document allows the users to quickly identify the facility and most recent version of the CSIF from a folder. Saving the document will preserve the original copy on the disk or hard drive, allowing for ease in updating the document as changes in the clinical site information occurs.
2. Complete the CSIF thoroughly and accurately. Use the tab key or arrow keys to move to the desired blank space. The form is comprised of a series of tables to enable use of the tab key for quicker data entry. Use the Comment section to provide addition information as needed. If you need additional space please attach a separate sheet of paper.
3. Save the completed CSIF. 4. E-mail the completed CSIF to each academic program with whom the clinic affiliates (accepts students).5. In addition, to develop and maintain an accurate and comprehensive national database of clinical education sites,
e-mail a copy of the completed CSIF to the Department of Physical Therapy Education at [email protected]. Update the CSIF on an annual basis to assist in maintaining accurate and relevant information about your
physical therapy service for academic programs, students, and the national database.
What should I do if my physical therapy service is associated with multiple satellite sites that also provide clinical learning experiences?
If your physical therapy service is associated with multiple satellite sites that offer a variety of clinical learning experiences, such as an acute care hospital that also provides clinical rotations at associated sports medicine and long-term care facilities, provide information regarding the primary clinical site for the clinical experience on page 4. Complete page 4, to provide essential information on all additional clinical sites or satellites associated with the primary clinical site. Please note that if the satellite site(s) offering a clinical experience differs from the primary clinical site, a separate CSIF must be completed for each satellite site. Additionally, if any of the satellite sites have a different CCCE, an abbreviated resume must be completed for each individual serving as CCCE.
What should I do if specific items are not applicable to my clinical site or I need to further clarify a response?
If specific items on the CSIF do not apply to your clinical education site at the time you are completing the form, please leave the item(s) blank. Provide additional information and/or comments in the Comment box associated with the item.

Is your clinical site willing to offer reasonable accommodations for students under ADA?
What is the procedure for managing students whose performance is below expectations or unsafe?We try to identify potential problems early and work with the intern on developing behavioral objectives. The clinical instructor and CCCE would work with the student. We would contact the school within the first two weeks of the internship if a serious performance problem has been identified. If the problem is safety, and cannot be immediately corrected, our first obligation is to protect our patients, so the student internship would be terminated. Fortunately, we have never had to exercise this option.
Box will expand to accommodate response.
Answer if the clinical center employs only one PT or PTA.
Explain what provisions are made for students if the clinical instructor is ill or away from the clinical site.We have multiple instructors. Clinical instructors will arrange for a PT on their team or a relief PT to supervise the student. Sometimes the students use this opportunity to observe treatment on different units, or to observe surgery.

OPTIONAL: Please feel free to use the space provided below to share additional information about your clinical site (eg, strengths, special learning opportunities, clinical supervision, organizational structure, clinical philosophies of treatment, pacing expectations of students [early, final]).
Benefis Healthcare is a teaching hospital and serves patients with routine to complex medical issues and rare conditions. As such, it is a fast-paced work environment. There are many resources and learning opportunities available to the energetic student. However, since the pace is fast, self-directed learners do best here. Rehab physical therapists work within teams, so strong communication skills are necessary for efficient patient care. Team members include OT, SLP, MD, RN, chaplains, case managers, social workers, and families.
Students are encouraged to seek out special learning opportunities, including observing surgeries, attending rounds, using the medical library, and special study with clinical specialists. Clinical supervision is managed by the CI in consultation with the CEC and other team members. The student may have a CI who works part-time, and will be supervised by other staff physical therapists when the CI is not working.
Our mission is: "We who are Benefis Healthcare are dedicated to our Christian tradition as a healing ministry to provide excellent physical, emotional, and spiritual care to all in need." These principles are integrated into our department through professional patient care based on the principles of evidence-based practice, and our commitment to clinical education.
